found that Stone supplied lawmakers with false statements during their probe into the 2016 presidential election, in an effort to cover up his outreach to WikiLeaks. The group had obtained — and eventually released — thousands of hacked Democratic emails.
In February, Stone received a lighter sentence than he could have gotten — but that did not satisfy the president, a longtime friend of the GOP political operative. "Roger Stone was targeted by an illegal Witch Hunt that never should have taken place," the presidentAs of midday Saturday, Romney was the only prominent Republican to break with the president. It's not his first time doing so. The senator has repeatedly clashed with the president and delivered the lone GOP vote for Trump's conviction in his impeachment trial.
Because the rest who aren't apposed are probably on the list of offender's! What a corrupt Government.
And Romney’s the only smart Republican in the bunch!!!
This is what tRUMP calls, “draining the swamp.”
...and in line with all the rest of the republicans as unlikely to push to do anything about it. Sit down Mitt, it means nothing to criticize without action.
Unprecedented?
Better: ' .MittRomney Demonstrates Again Why He Is Not President'
Prominent Republican, that’s a little bit of an overstatement..... why do you investigate the actuall allegations against Mr. Stone...... his entire arrest was a political hack job
Obama pardoned 1,927, many criminals. Clinton pardoned a convicted terrorist, Trump has pardoned 26 people. Everyone needs to take a chill pill and let the real reporters handle this.
Roger stone on his way to comic con.
Mitt Romney isn't exactly a 'Republican.'
You mean besides Mueller, of course.
JonDelano of KDKA quoted SenToomey as saying the commutation was a “mistake” and that basically the courts had properly convicted Stone. Check Jon’s twitter account for the exact quote. Not quite a condemnation, but it’s something.
Let’s take a look at all the pardons by past presidents to put his into perspective. FakeNews defundNPR
There is no longer anyone in the GOP, even the Governors, with an ounce of integrity. In Arizona, we have some of the worst. SenMcSallyAZ RepDavid dougducey Trump is corrupt but they just look the other way.
Does he purposely try to look like a Batman villain?
GOP -- bunch of cowards.
Pravda. Amazing that one vulture capitalist who happens to be Mormon is willing to lay a little truth into his party of liars, cheats and conspirators.
That is because he is the only prominent RINO left since John McCain finally died.

Mitt Romney is not a prominent Republican.
So, only one of 52 GOP senators isn't a sycophant and honors the rule of law.
To Christians and Evangelicals in the party- your loyalty in a man is displaced: BE LIKE MITT. He is more interested in how God sees his choices.
Not shocked at rino, liberal Mitt
He reminds me of Alex DeLarge RogerStoneIsACriminal
kairyssdal Mitt Romney shaming every single Republican in the country is something I couldn't have imagined in 2012.
Senator Pat Toomey from PA came out saying it was “a mistake”.... Republican 2
No big surprise there, eh? 😁
Romney=Establishment Republican [Deep state cuckold, Democrats' puppet] A dying breed of useless politicians. DrainTheSwamp
The rest haven't really heard the news, are late for lunch, and will have to get back to that later
Barely
Good thing Romney will never be in a position of real power. When Trump leaves office he will fail to exist
The other Republicans are in hiding.
The GOP is morally bankrupt.
Mitt is a Dbag 😬
Wow; GOP=Corruption
kairyssdal Does he actually try to look like an evil creepy movie villain? Or does it just happen naturally?
'These are the only Republicans you can like' thanks NPR 🙂
he's the only republican that is interested in the people not their fearless leader(HA HA). Thank you sen. Romney
Coward GOP . What’s new? I’m sure after trump is out of the WhiteHouse or in jail, hopefully both, republicans will talk all day how they wanted to do something. Again, cowards.
The compliance within the GOP is stunning...and terrifying. You watch to see how flexible they aren't and how quickly they get in a twist when they lose favor.
Because the rest are scared little boys who have rolled over and showed trump their belly’s like good puppies.
A complete joke that this conman is getting away with this
Romney isn't a republican tho ... he is a rino
We all knew who’s .realDonaldTrump. We knew of his psychopathic narcissism & utter corruption and, yet, Republicans embraced him, followed his lead & sold him their souls. .GOP had plenty of opportunities to stop him & chose to give him a “free” pass. Shame on them! Accomplices
Unprecedented, historic corruption? No, that's what happened when the Obama administration turned the power of government on a domestic political opponent. BTW, where are Hillary's 33,000 missing emails?
Davidlaz This character looks like a villain in the Batman movies
COWARDS
Does NPR disapprove of a happy face on Stone?
What’s incomprehensible is HOW willingly the GOP chooses to betray their country. 😮
What’s your point?
Roger Stone looks batshit crazy.
This photo answers my question as to where the term 'Ass Hat' came from.
Willard Romney is a DemocRAT, don't care what box he checks for electoral convenience.
Where is GOPChairwoman
SenToomey, what say you? You are one of the GOPComplicitTraitors .
Romney a 'prominent Republican' He is a whacko Democrat, interested only in their wicked pursuits of demonizing the President. The RNC should not accept him ever again as a Republican. He is not a decent man; he's crooked like most Democrats.
Our government has fallen to con artists and white nationalists.
The gop SenateGOP HouseGOP are nothing but SPINELESS. It is utterly abhorrent how they have turned their back on their country in the name of trump. History will judge you all accordingly and voters will hold you ACCOUNTABLE! SHAME ON YOU ALL!
Bravo POTUS Trump for doing this! The RogerStone prosecution was the most blatant political prosecution I've seen in America in my 60 yrs: from the ridiculous way he was taken into custody, to his solitary confinement, the gag-order against him & the ridiculously long sentence.
Either way, Stone is still guilty.
Batman! Emergency! Someone sprung The Penguin!
Romney shows his spine; the rest of the GOP slithers away.
Romney is NOT a republican
Because the GOPBetrayedAmerica
The face of cynicism
That’s a disgrace!!
Remember, Obama pardoned Oscar Lopez Rivera, a convicted terrorist. And what’s worse, Obama did this for votes.
They are happy racists They couldn't care less how many laws were broken, they just want to get away with breaking tax laws .. Al Capone had nothing compared to the GOP
Do you have an inch is overwhelming, we are experiencing the collapse of a nation.
& will most likely be the only one! MittRomney is attention starved & should feel guilty for his raping of numerous U.S. companies back in his Bain days! Not very Morman like behavior!
NAMBLA member
MittRomney Republican in name only
this man is a fake he is a leftist terrorist tricking the voters wake up vote him out
Prominent I think not
Of course, he is the only human being in the senate. The others are just donkeys on a trail ride with their noses up each other’s ass!
The silence and complicity from the compromised GOP is quite deafening. Got the message? VOTE BLUE
Insanity.
As the rest of the country shrugged.
Wait. Found guilty in a court of law by a jury of his peers and you commuted? To walk away? Where can I get this type fo justice? ImpeachTrumpAgain ImpeachBarrNOW RogerStoneIsACriminal
I have been very impressed with Romney’s outspokenness of the president. I may not have voted for him, but I appreciate that he has been on of the FEW republicans open disapproval.
Big Deal - it was a Tweet!
MittRomney At least you have some integrity left. History will remember you kindly, but probably lamenting that you should've done more.
I'm sure of all the republicans in congress, he sleeps soundly.. I call it 'being settled with one's self'..
Rep is wolf’s clothes
Romney is a Democrat
After losing to democrats Romni just changed party line. Traitor
If only ThomTillis had any political courage.
If Mitt is against it, I know Trump did the right thing!
Does anyone know Stone’s IQ? By appearances he looks syndromic and delayed.
Send a message to the GOP, America, that you do not approve. Donate, any amount, to a Democratic candidate for office, today. Here’s one right here, Cal Cunningham, to replace Thom Tillis in the Senate.
NPR contradicts Progressives. Wow. Orange Man Bad!
He looks like a fucking looney toon
Figures because he's poster boy far the Dems 😡
Bc he actually believes and lives his religion
Romney’s a liberal republican so he doesn’t count
As of midday Saturday, is and always will be garbage
This is sad GOP senatemajldr This is the definition of corruption.
Yeah remember Obama's Romneycare left 30 Million without insurance and many more after they lost their jobs. Let's protect Mitt Romney. What else corrupted democrats? What else?
He is no longer relevant. Boo on you Mitt Romney! if there was a way to go back in my past and take away my vote for you I would do it in a second
“Only prominent Republican” or only Republican, period? If there are non-prominent Republicans who have spoken against Trump’s actions in the Roger Stone affair, please make their names more prominent. They deserve it. If there aren’t any, then write more clearly.
Thanks MittRomney for being the only Republican left with the courage to call a spade a spade. The corruption of this administration knows no bounds.
Romney has always shown he had balls to call out trumps bs. Hope everyone sees what happens when a “businessman”,doesn’t matter he’s a failure at that too, attempts to govern. Difference is self made man may have done better. Fred Trump did all the serious work.Obvious now huh?
There no any prominent Republicans anymore...
What about...
Mitt is a baby still throwing a temper tantrum over losing the election...I find great satisfaction and amusement in that. MittRomney
kairyssdal Holding your breath to hear from more is a bad idea. Especially if you're one of the millions recovering from Covid.
Dems are the enemy of the USA!!!
That’s because he isn’t a Republican
I think the Republicans only allow one good apple in the bunch. John McCain passed and Mitt Romney took his position as the only decent Republican in Congress.
Romney is not prominent. Only in liberal bubbles do people believe this nonsense.
The rest are paid cowards. So sad that the GOP can be bought and sold so easily. Shameful bunch of scum.
GOP enablers. They are all guilty, traitors.
Because he is a tool
Thank you MittRomney As for the rest of the silent GOP, The world and this country are ALL watching you. Just remember, we’re all watching you.
VoteBlue
Still not convinced MittRomney isn’t positioning himself for a presidential run in 2024...which I don’t hate. Anyone else? This type of intelligence and sensibility should be the norm for all elected leaders.
jennycohn1 PLEASE in the name of all that’s holy STOP showing that POS ‘s face!
The USA is now as corrupt as any third world nation. This is called “draining the swamp”.
To everyone else in the GOP
Romney has his moral compass at least one of them does.

It’s because republicans (used to be one) are spineless cowards
Thank you, SenatorRomney
The rest of them are thinking, 'I sure hope he pardons me too, when that time comes.'
Romney is an idiot.
I would suggest you check his track record on same sex marriage rights and the religious attempt, 52 million spent on promoting Prop 8 in California. Constitutional win, 14th amendment.
Glad I got to see the collapse of the GOP as a functional political party in my lifetime.
Is he auditioning for the role of The Penguin?
They are all complicit.
Do you KNOW how hard it is to criticize realDonaldTrump without actually criticizing him?
They are all complicit.
Cowards all.
Romney is also likely the only prominent Repbulican in Washington who has never taken money or sexual favors from Russians working through Stone’s former K Street firm Manafort, Stone, & Black.
Alaxandars that tells you where the right is at, and also makes the 'we need a centrist to work with the other side' argument seem utterly ridiculous. the republicans have no soul or ethic, and the democrats are sad and ill prepared.
Cowards! Cowards all!
Silence is affirmation. VoteToSaveAmerica2020
Well Mitt is a disappointment, so I guess o don’t really care what he thinks.
kairyssdal And his criticism remains irrelevant as he votes for 99% of Trump’s judges and agenda. Stop trying to lionize Romney - he’s as bad as all the rest.
Joe won't be pardoning Trump or granting clemency.
The mob is in session.
CorruptAndComplicitGOP
GOP is ok with the corruption in the WH. Remember in NOVEMBER and vote GOP out!
GOP GOPChairwoman prays at the alter of tRump. No moral or ethical compass. They have lost any credibility regarding familyvalues RuleOfLaw respectofwomen
MittRomney please run again.
realDonaldTrump sets new precedents of “historic corruption” daily but what does that matter to a sociopath?
This corruption isn’t just one party’s fault. This failure is the American people’s, and ours alone. For to long we have blindly allowed our elected officials to run a muck and get away w/literally murder. To divide us, and allow the few to rule the many.
Flip it! Vote Blue!
Meanwhile, Susan Collins is still working on her statement expressing her “extreme disappointment”...
Monopoly man got out of jail free
All lives matter !
BidenPledgesAllegianceToUS
It's too bad Romney didn't get the nomination leaving us to deal with this low intelligent Criminal and his friend Rodger Stone.
Because all of the other Republicans are complicit or also knee deep in corruption.
It shows the utter abandonment of the GOP for the rule of law. It's all in for Party over country and everything else.
As a former public corruption federal prosecutor, I find this outrageous. As an observer of Trump's presidency, I do not find this surprising.
Obviously. Because it's nonsense. The only motivation for a GOP politician to condemn this sensible commutation is irrational hatred of Trump, i.e. Mitt Romney.
Mitt Romney's honesty is a breath of fresh air. Honesty, unlike the virus, is something good and positive we want to spread throughout the GOP so they would stop enabling corruption & remove it from the Oval Office like they did Richard Nixon.
One out of what, 53? Sad!
Romney, big on words after the fact, pretty useless when it comes to action.
No President is Above the Law, certainly not the one with the most friends and colleagues sentenced to jail for crimes they committed on behalf of the President. November cannot come soon enough!
So President Joker pardoned the Penguin?
great, but does he plan to actually do about it or anything ?
I’m ok with even ‘non-prominent’ ones to criticize.
TrumpCesspool
He’s also the only one to buy his underwear from his church.
I have no words.
Shame on the rest of them. ChuckGrassley SenJoniErnst
Whoop di effin do. Romney only looks principaled in comparison to the rest of those slime balls. The bar is very, very low here.
Diverse political parties & opinions - are essential. Donald Trump's conduct (& endless enablement) - is INEXCUSABLE. ...Next year, I look forward to having a President who is NOT violently allergic - to common decency and the truth.
Sure he is, because he knows his colleagues are jelly fish!
Goes to show you how bad things are when the lone voice of truth is Mitt “Binders Full of Women” Romney. We continue to be effed as a country.
Traitor helping a traitor.
Due to the boring nature of Utah, Stone never was able to digg-up any dirt on Mitt Romney.
if you think we still have a democracy, then fake investigations should not produce any indictments at all ...ever. None.
It was a politically motivated conviction, wasn't it?
Blah blah blah.
Trump is the 'chief criminal who's running a crime syndicate out of the West Wing.' John Flannery, former prosecutor said Barr 'has no business in that job' & called on DOJ officials to 'do the job right.' He described Barr as the president's 'consigliere' (crime boss advisor)
